            DEEP SPACE: "Q-Less" REV. 11/09/92 - ACT ONE            15.

17   CONTINUED:

					O'BRIEN
			The Captain likes a good challenge, 
			sir.

	Before Sisko can respond, the corridor lights dim and there's 
	a low pitched WHINE.  Then as quickly as they faded, the 
	lights flicker and come up again and the noise ceases.  As 
	Sisko and O'Brien react...

18   INT. OPS

	Kira and Dax at their stations.  Sisko and O'Brien ENTER 
	from the Turbolift.

					SISKO
			Status report?

	O'Brien hurries to his station.

					DAX
			We suffered a broad spectrum power 
			drain.

					KIRA
			The power transfer is completely 
			inoperative.  The energy was drawn 
			out faster than it could handle.

					O'BRIEN
			I'll have to replace the entire unit.

					DAX
				(to O'Brien)
			Chief, are you reading any graviton 
			flux around the transfer systems.

					O'BRIEN
				(runs a diagnostic)
			I am detecting a low level graviton 
			disturbance... How did you know?

					DAX
			That's exactly what happened when we 
			lost power on the Ganges.

	On reactions...

									FADE OUT.
